00:00:00Previously...
00:00:02There's a key to my apartment.
00:00:04That's so cute, thank you.
00:00:06Homestays saw significant breakthroughs.
00:00:08The hardest decision is to fight,
00:00:10and that's what we want to do, and I want to move forward.
00:00:12As our couples began planning their futures outside of the experiment.
00:00:17Just because the experiment comes to an end,
00:00:19doesn't mean we come to an end.
00:00:21If it all ended abruptly tomorrow,
00:00:24is my daughter going to get heartbroken?
00:00:27But TJ left Beth feeling devastated.
00:00:30There's obviously something that's lacking between us for me to say,
00:00:33yes, I want to have a relationship with this person.
00:00:35That was really hard to hear.
00:00:37Your beard isn't very manly.
00:00:39Your brain is so small.
00:00:41My brain is small? Yeah.
00:00:43And when Jackie and Ryan sampled married life in the real world...
00:00:47I didn't bring you here to listen to your bullshit.
00:00:49Jackie is the most difficult person I've ever tried to date in my life.
00:00:54Tensions hit boiling point.
00:00:56Your behaviour, it's not okay.
00:00:58You're trying to talk over me, trying to shut me up.
00:01:00No, I'm going to tell you exactly how I feel.
00:01:02I think he's been absolutely gypped of this experiment
00:01:04by being put with you.
00:01:08Tonight...
00:01:11It's a storm outside, and there's about to be a storm inside.
00:01:16It's the second-last dinner party of the experiment.
00:01:20TJ, what on earth do you have to say to that, then?
00:01:23And TJ is at the centre of the storm.
00:01:26I feel like you've really switched.
00:01:28I can't answer that right now.
00:01:29Has he been entirely honest with Beth?
00:01:32You'll be able to say,
00:01:34yes, I want to continue on the outside and get to know you,
00:01:36and you couldn't answer it.
00:01:38He gave me a house king, which is a bit cute.
00:01:41That's awesome.
00:01:42Some will celebrate their deeper bonds.
00:01:45It's actually quite lovely to watch, isn't it?
00:01:47I'll reflect him on how well things are going.
00:01:50It's beautiful.
00:01:52But for Ryan...
00:01:53I'm sick of it, Jackie.
00:01:54I'm just sick of it.
00:01:55I've had a guffal, mate.
00:01:56Wow.
00:01:57Wow.
00:01:58He's reached his breaking point.
00:02:00This is my house.
00:02:01No, that's not what happened.
00:02:02I got yelled at.
00:02:03Oh, my God.
00:02:04I'm not going to sugarcoat things.
00:02:05I'm not going to tolerate it anymore.
00:02:07As he declares he wants out.
00:02:09I can't...
00:02:10I can't do this, Jackie.
00:02:12Why don't you want to be someone great?
00:02:15Ooh.
00:02:16But Jackie's not taking no for an answer.
00:02:19I don't lose people.
00:02:21People lose me.
00:02:31After travelling far and wide across the country for homestays,
00:02:36all our couples are back in Sydney
00:02:39ahead of the seventh dinner party of the experiment.
00:02:43Today's dinner party.
00:02:44You look so good, babe.
00:02:45You look good as well.
00:02:46You look so sweet.
00:02:48You look so suave.
00:02:51Having returned from their homestay in Melbourne,
00:02:54Ree and Geoff are going into tonight's dinner party
00:02:58with high hopes for the future.
00:03:00Mine and Geoff's homestay went really well.
00:03:02It was actually better than I expected.
00:03:05Going into homestays,
00:03:06I was worried that the experiment was the glue keeping us together
00:03:09considering we did date before
00:03:12and obviously it didn't work out.
00:03:14But homestays really did, I guess,
00:03:16clear up those worries for me
00:03:18because I feel like we were just instantly extremely comfortable
00:03:22and it just felt natural, which was great.
00:03:24During their homestay, Geoff felt so at home with Ree
00:03:28that he decided to take a significant step forward in their relationship.
00:03:33Here is a key to my apartment.
00:03:35Oh, that's so cute.
00:03:37So, yeah, come over whenever.
00:03:39I will.
00:03:40As much as possible.
00:03:41I definitely will.
00:03:42Geoff giving me a key on the last day of homestays,
00:03:44it just made me realise how serious this relationship really is.
00:03:48You look great.
00:03:50So do you.
00:03:51It just made me extremely excited
00:03:53to actually start our lives outside of the experiment.
00:03:57I'll be a minute.
00:03:58Alright.
00:03:59Me and Ree, like, we've been so good
00:04:01and homestays was a great week.
00:04:03How weird does it feel being back in the apartment again?
00:04:05I think it feels good being here.
00:04:06Yeah.
00:04:07It feels like home.
00:04:08Yeah, it does.
00:04:09Homestays just confirmed that this relationship is real
00:04:12and it feels great to be in it.
00:04:14Everyone will ask us how our homestays are.
00:04:15They'll be like, yeah, it was good.
00:04:16Yeah.
00:04:17They're like, all right, move on.
00:04:18I've been there.
00:04:19Yeah.
00:04:20Yeah, you've been there, yeah.
00:04:21Yeah, no, it was awesome.
00:04:22I had a great week.
00:04:23Every day, every week, my feelings grow stronger
00:04:25and I'm excited about the next few weeks,
00:04:27but I'm excited about life past the experiment.
00:04:30Alright, let's do it.
00:04:33Ree and Geoff aren't the only couple returning to Sydney on a high.
00:04:38Feeling good.
00:04:39I'm looking forward to the dinner party.
00:04:41Coming back from homestays, I think we're in a good place,
00:04:43if not a better place than we were before we left.
00:04:46I enjoyed seeing what Athena's life is like.
00:04:49And me and Athena obviously have some hurdles
00:04:51considering the states that we live in,
00:04:53but we're in a good place in our relationship.
00:04:55And I'm excited to see where life takes us.
00:04:59You look nice, Ben, eh?
00:05:00So do you.
00:05:01I like you and pink.
00:05:02I like you and pink.
00:05:03You matchy matchy.
00:05:04Yeah, I can't wait to tell everyone about our homestay.
00:05:07Yeah.
00:05:08And how terrible you are.
00:05:09How much your mum loved me.
00:05:15Adrian and I are in a really good place right now.
00:05:18We had a really great homestay.
00:05:19And I'm looking forward to going into the dinner party
00:05:21because we're going in together.
00:05:23And Adrian said,
00:05:24He likes Perth.
00:05:25And it's made me feel more confident about our relationship.
00:05:29Mum was cute.
00:05:30My mum is cute.
00:05:31Oh, my God.
00:05:35Yeah, it's for you.
00:05:37Having gone into homestays on a mission to win back his wife's heart,
00:05:42Dave has been pulling out all the stops.
00:05:47Have a look.
00:05:48Babe, this is like 400 baht.
00:05:50Is that your favourite one?
00:05:51It is, but why would you spend the most money?
00:05:54I feel like I'm constantly eating my words about my relationship
00:05:58because as soon as I'm like, oh, there's no saving us,
00:06:00then apparently there is saving us.
00:06:02Because I care about you.
00:06:03The last two weeks really tested us.
00:06:07But then I think, like, just as we were, like, giving up,
00:06:11kind of realised we don't want to not be in each other's lives.
00:06:14We don't want to lose each other's.
00:06:16For Dave, homestays was an opportunity
00:06:19to reaffirm his commitment to fighting for Jamie.
00:06:23I've seen you on the couch last week
00:06:24and I've seen how hurt you were.
00:06:27That's not how I want this to go.
00:06:31I don't want to hurt you at all.
00:06:32I don't want to put the effort in.
00:06:34I want to work on expressing the emotional, romantic side.
00:06:38You're worth doing that for.
00:06:43And Dave also took the step of introducing Jamie
00:06:47to the most important person in his life, his father.
00:06:51It was super important, brother, to meet you, for me.
00:06:54I was right.
00:06:55Just finally met Jamie and she's wonderful.
00:06:58He's very happy, you can tell.
00:07:00Are you sexy minx?
00:07:04I still can't get over this perfume.
00:07:08Do you like it?
00:07:10Do you like it?
00:07:11I just, it's like what rich people smell like.
00:07:14Yeah.
00:07:15Your favourite perfume.
00:07:16I still...
00:07:17I think Jamie and I are in a really good place at the moment.
00:07:20Homestays for me put things into perspective.
00:07:22I realise that I want to make this work
00:07:24and I want to see this out.
00:07:25Delish.
00:07:26Everyone's going to want to, like, have a bite of me tonight, I think.
00:07:30Showing up romantically is a huge, huge thing for Jamie,
00:07:34so I'm just trying to step up and be a good partner.
00:07:40I feel like she's totally worth the effort.
00:07:43And with pink nails, such a girly girl.
00:07:45I know.
00:07:46First time I've had pink in so long.
00:07:48I like it.
00:07:49Yeah, we're mixing it up
00:07:50because now we're back in love-a-girl era.
00:07:52But unlike Jamie and Dave,
00:08:00homestays has only brought more confusion
00:08:03to Beth and TJ's relationship.
00:08:06At last week's commitment ceremony,
00:08:09the lack of intimacy in Beth and TJ's marriage
00:08:12was in the spotlight.
00:08:14Why would you say, TJ, that sexual intimacy
00:08:16and, like, physical intimacy
00:08:18has some progress for you too?
00:08:19I genuinely believe it's an emotional connection.
00:08:21It's an emotional connection thing,
00:08:22and I really want to feel like that soul's into 20
00:08:26before moving back into the intimate side of things.
00:08:29Then, as they arrived in Brisbane for homestays...
00:08:33Look at this!
00:08:34A little room.
00:08:36Beth shared an update in their relationship.
00:08:39We went on a date,
00:08:40and then that night we were intimate again,
00:08:42which was awesome.
00:08:43You put your stuff away first,
00:08:44and then I'll see what's left.
00:08:45He initiated it.
00:08:46He said this whole time
00:08:47he needs more of a connection to sleep with me,
00:08:49so I hope that means that he does have an emotional connection to me,
00:08:52because otherwise I guess it wouldn't make sense
00:08:54for him to initiate that.
00:08:55But a conversation with TJ's friends
00:08:58caused Beth to doubt their connection.
00:09:01I think what we're trying to work out at the moment is that,
00:09:04is our connection going to flourish into a relationship?
00:09:07Right.
00:09:08Right, so there's obviously something that's lacking between us
00:09:10for me to say, yes, I want to have a relationship with this person.
00:09:13And alone with his friends...
00:09:15Running. I'll be back soon.
00:09:16OK.
00:09:17TJ revealed his true feelings.
00:09:19So as it stands, how do you feel?
00:09:22If you were to tell me after I decided yes or no right now,
00:09:27then it has to be a no because I'm not completely comfortable in here.
00:09:31So I have no idea where I stand with TJ.
00:09:37The things that have happened recently in our relationship,
00:09:40we've had some great moments,
00:09:41we've had some great conversations,
00:09:43we've obviously slept with each other again.
00:09:45So in my mind, I thought everything was going really well,
00:09:48and then we get to homestays,
00:09:50and it's a completely different story.
00:09:52He's clearly been feeling unsure about me before we went to homestays.
00:09:57So why didn't he tell me?
00:10:00I would not have done homestays if I knew he wasn't feeling me.
00:10:03I just wouldn't have.
00:10:04I would love for TJ to kind of make that commitment
00:10:08that we're willing to work on it,
00:10:09because I think he's great.
00:10:10I'm not saying that I need him to get down on one knee
00:10:12and propose to me on the outside.
00:10:14All I'm asking is, if he's open,
00:10:17to just work on it a little bit more.
00:10:19But I guess from the conversation from homestays,
00:10:22he just feels very closed off.
00:10:28Hi.
00:10:29Hey.
00:10:30You're good.
00:10:31You're good. How are you feeling?
00:10:33Yeah, I'm all right.
00:10:36Homestays were a little bit, um, much.
00:10:40But, I mean, if that's where we are, that's where we are,
00:10:43you know what I mean?
00:10:44So it's not like we hate each other or anything like that.
00:10:47Yeah.
00:10:48I'm comfortable with walking in however you want.
00:10:52Like, if you wanted to walk in by yourself, I understand.
00:10:54But if you want to walk in together, like, I understand too as well.
00:10:57So I just want to know what you're thinking there.
00:10:59Um, I mean, it's hard because obviously the last conversation,
00:11:03I think we are on different pages, do you know what I mean?
00:11:07Mm.
00:11:08Um, yeah.
00:11:09You're not wearing your wedding ring.
00:11:10Does that make sense?
00:11:11Yeah.
00:11:12Yeah.
00:11:13Yeah.
00:11:14Yeah.
00:11:15Yeah.
00:11:16It's pretty confronting going to dinner parties, I guess, when you're not in a good position.
00:11:30So, yeah, I don't know.
00:11:32I don't know.
00:11:33Mostly, I obviously don't want people to come at you either.
00:11:38So, you know, it's still a nerve-wracking situation.
00:11:41Maybe we just walk in together then.
00:11:43Okay.
00:11:44So, it's more comfortable and then we can just get in there and have the conversations
00:11:48and that's it.
00:11:49It's fine with me.
00:11:51So, I'm happy with that.
00:11:53Okay.
00:11:55While Beth and TJ put on a united front, Jackie is getting ready alone for the first time ever.
00:12:04After a heated argument with Ryan's friends during homestays.
00:12:08So, you're just like throwing dirt on me, but you're not even listening to anything.
00:12:12How does it feel, Jackie?
00:12:14All you've done is throw dirt on him.
00:12:16Two sets of paperwork saying he's alive.
00:12:17Okay, calm down.
00:12:18No.
00:12:19You've been ranting him the whole time.
00:12:20He's been ripped of this experiment.
00:12:21Jackie, we sat there and watched your behaviour last time.
00:12:23You were so rude.
00:12:24I've been absolutely ripped of this experiment.
00:12:25They're putting you.
00:12:28I'm feeling fine about the dinner party.
00:12:31I've done nothing wrong.
00:12:32Absolutely, absolutely nothing wrong.
00:12:34It's clear as daylight.
00:12:36At Ryan's place, when his friends came for me,
00:12:39that felt like a really unjustified malicious attack on my heart.
00:12:46And he just sat there.
00:12:48Just disgusting behaviour.
00:12:51Like, I've obviously had real concerns about Ryan and his behaviour,
00:12:56but I've been trying to give him the benefit of the doubt
00:12:58and trying to see the good in him and trying to look for the good.
00:13:01Now I realise that supporting him as my husband is a detriment to the world.
00:13:07I feel fine about seeing Ryan at the dinner party.
00:13:10I'll just give him the opportunity to explain what happened and apologise.
00:13:15He's not going to get away with not giving me an apology.
00:13:19Jackie might be looking for an apology,
00:13:22but Ryan is looking for a quick exit.
00:13:25Tonight is going to be pretty definitive in terms of Jackie and I's relationship.
00:13:32I haven't seen Jackie at all since she left my place
00:13:35and kind of chucked a little tantrum and walked out.
00:13:38Now, I'm not saying that I condone the raised voices,
00:13:41but at the same time, my friends are protective of me.
00:13:44They love me.
00:13:45They've heard the terrible things that she said and done.
00:13:48I love having a bit of stubble at the very least.
00:13:52Why do you not care if your wife finds you attractive?
00:13:56Jackie is the most difficult person I've ever tried to date in my life.
00:14:00But it's something as simple as a beard.
00:14:02Is that a kind of conversation with you about anything?
00:14:03Because your brain is so small.
00:14:05I didn't come to your home to argue with you.
00:14:08I didn't bring you here to listen to your bullshit either.
00:14:11Move office back into office.
00:14:13See, she's heavy. Look her tail's wagging now.
00:14:17Jackie, this is my dog, all right?
00:14:19I know what she tries to get away with, all right?
00:14:21So if you could just respect that, that'd be great.
00:14:25I feel this whole week has just really highlighted to me
00:14:28just how incompatible we are.
00:14:30We make progress and then we burn down.
00:14:32Like, we launch the rocket and then we fall back to Earth
00:14:34and I can't do the yo-yo anymore.
00:14:36It's not what I want for my life.
00:14:38It all accumulates into me feeling like, what am I doing here?
00:14:42Like, this person is not healthy to be around
00:14:44because she's so full of criticism.
00:14:47Tonight, I'm not going to sugarcoat things.
00:14:49I'm going to let my voice be heard
00:14:51and shed light on what I've been dealing with.
00:14:53I want to make sure that my sight is heard.
00:14:56What can make this right between you both?
00:14:59Nothing can make this right between us.
00:15:01It's a nice day for a dinner party.
00:15:23Isn't it?
00:15:24It's nice to be excited for this dinner party.
00:15:26Yeah.
00:15:27I actually can't wait to go in there
00:15:29and give you the biggest cuddle.
00:15:33Well, we are just about there.
00:15:35This is the second last dinner party for the entire experiment.
00:15:40And this week they've had homestays,
00:15:42which is the perfect opportunity
00:15:44to really try on your partner for size in the real world
00:15:48and get more of that critical feedback from family and loved ones.
00:15:52Yeah.
00:15:53And of course, coming then into the dinner party
00:15:56where they're going to be feeling the effects of that homestay,
00:15:59are they feeling that they can bask in, like, the gloriousness
00:16:03of how good it was?
00:16:04Or are there real cracks that have now been shown
00:16:06and they're really standing on shaky ground?
00:16:08You know, this is undoubtedly a very important dinner party
00:16:23for all our couples.
00:16:24All right, first one's in.
00:16:37Afina and Adrian.
00:16:39I don't think we've ever been first.
00:16:41I kind of like it.
00:16:43They're looking pretty loved up.
00:16:45They're, you know, flirting with each other.
00:16:47They're being cutesy.
00:16:49Hey!
00:16:50Oops!
00:16:51Adrian and I are in a good place,
00:16:56so it's really nice that we can walk in together.
00:16:58There's been, you know, a few times where we've come in alone,
00:17:00so it's nice coming in united.
00:17:02I'm looking forward to telling everyone else
00:17:03about our homestay, to be fair.
00:17:05Even having fun.
00:17:08Hey!
00:17:10Hey!
00:17:11Oh!
00:17:12Rian Jeff.
00:17:13Rian Jeff, looking radiant.
00:17:15Very happy entrance.
00:17:16Yes.
00:17:17Lovely to see.
00:17:20Comfortable.
00:17:21He's smiling.
00:17:22Just happy and radiant.
00:17:25How'd you guys go?
00:17:27Yeah, we had a really good homestay.
00:17:29It was really good, like, overall,
00:17:31because it just made me realise
00:17:33that outside of the experiment, we'll work.
00:17:35It's important, yeah.
00:17:36That everyone gets along.
00:17:37It's so good to see that going home reinforced,
00:17:40how strong they are for these two.
00:17:42Yes.
00:17:43They do look really strong, don't they?
00:17:44Yeah.
00:17:45Yeah.
00:17:46Kiss her.
00:17:47Kiss her.
00:17:51Hey!
00:17:52Hey!
00:17:53Hi!
00:17:54Hi!
00:17:55Jamie and Dave.
00:17:56We're holding hands.
00:17:57That's a good start.
00:17:58Good sign, to begin with.
00:18:00It's gorgeous.
00:18:01Hey, guys.
00:18:02Hey!
00:18:03I love pink on you, I think.
00:18:04Well, you mean homestays weren't well?
00:18:06Yeah.
00:18:07One of the big things that came out from last commitment ceremony
00:18:10was Dave was detached.
00:18:13And we put it on him that if he's going to stick around,
00:18:16he's got to do some heavy lifting and win her back.
00:18:22How were your homestay?
00:18:24Everything kind of turned around.
00:18:26We just, it was like old times was better.
00:18:29He's bought flowers, he bought my favourite perfume.
00:18:32Oh, showing up.
00:18:35She did meet, she did meet my dad.
00:18:37We had a really nice catch up.
00:18:40So good.
00:18:42This was a big step for him.
00:18:44It is great to see Dave really stepping up,
00:18:46taking our advice on board.
00:18:48Yeah.
00:18:49This is great.
00:18:50We had some good news about him.
00:18:52He, um, his cancer's like shrunk significantly.
00:18:56Unbelievable.
00:18:57It was good.
00:18:58It was good.
00:18:59That's amazing.
00:19:01Oh, that's awesome.
00:19:02That's so good.
00:19:06Oh!
00:19:07Hello!
00:19:09How's it going?
00:19:10You ready to know Paul?
00:19:11Hey, sir.
00:19:12Oh, my brother.
00:19:13How are you, man?
00:19:14How are you, man?
00:19:15I'm good, man.
00:19:16It's good to see you, dude.
00:19:17Both seem happy.
00:19:18Yeah.
00:19:19How was your homestay?
00:19:20It was really good.
00:19:21Like, it was so nice.
00:19:22My family, like, he's already a son to us.
00:19:24And I was like, whoa!
00:19:25I was like, oh my God, okay!
00:19:26Whoa, Tigers!
00:19:27Like, relax!
00:19:29It is so bloody nice to see everyone in this room loved up.
00:19:33I feel like I can breathe again.
00:19:35I'm going to be drinking my wine minding my own business.
00:19:38No, actually, no.
00:19:39Never mind my own business.
00:19:40I'm going to be minding everyone else's business.
00:19:42Let's go.
00:19:43You ready?
00:19:44Me again.
00:19:45Yep.
00:19:46Do you reckon everyone's homestays were as good as ours?
00:19:59It's like the other couple's, like, come off a couple of real rough weeks.
00:20:02Like TJ and Beth.
00:20:03When they left it, they didn't seem strong at all.
00:20:13Hey!
00:20:14Hey!
00:20:15There they are.
00:20:16Hello!
00:20:18Ah, Beth and TJ.
00:20:19Beth and TJ.
00:20:20After the last commitment ceremony with Beth and TJ, there was no physical affection.
00:20:25Are we going to see a softening between the two of them tonight?
00:20:28Hi, girl.
00:20:29You look so good.
00:20:31So, so good.
00:20:32I need to know.
00:20:33I need to know what's going on.
00:20:34Um, not my first.
00:20:35My parents asked Rose, do you see this progressing on the outside?
00:20:40And I sat there and I said, I do.
00:20:41Like, it's something I want to work on.
00:20:43And he paused.
00:20:44And then he was like, it's something I'm navigating.
00:20:47And then in front of his friends, he said, um, I didn't see you progressing into a relationship.
00:20:52And they're feeling so embarrassed.
00:20:56Like, why would you do that to me in front of people?
00:20:59Oh, that would really hurt.
00:21:01That's so tough for Beth.
00:21:02Yes.
00:21:03Beth has never had a relationship.
00:21:05So this is completely new for her.
00:21:07And for Beth, this is very, very confusing.
00:21:10And for the group.
00:21:11For him to stay safe, he knew homestays were around the corner.
00:21:16So why did you not tell me before?
00:21:18Yeah, exactly.
00:21:22I feel for Beth.
00:21:24I feel completely blindsided.
00:21:26I've been in that position.
00:21:28I was there last week.
00:21:29You've got to speak your truth.
00:21:30Otherwise, nothing's going to change.
00:21:32I'm actually kind of excited to walk in alone for the first time.
00:21:44I actually signed up for a good husband, but this man is not good.
00:21:48He actually, when I think of him, I just think of evil.
00:21:51I think of a black smoke.
00:21:54And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
00:22:02I usually think Ryan is on the wrong track in life,
00:22:04and he needs to be put down in his place so he can figure it out himself.
00:22:09I didn't come here to support an evil person.
00:22:12He's not self-aware at all.
00:22:16All by myself.
00:22:21I wanna be all by myself.
00:22:26Actually, I'll get better this way.
00:22:34The one thing I'm expecting out of tonight is an apology from Ryan.
00:22:39Ultimately, I need him to make it up to me now, because I'm done.
00:22:42Like, there's nothing I need to apologise for.
00:22:47And it's so clear as daylight.
00:22:57Uh-oh!
00:23:01Jackie's by herself.
00:23:03Is this the first time she's walked in separate from Ryan?
00:23:05Absolutely.
00:23:06We've never seen Jackie and Ryan separate like this.
00:23:09Yeah, you're gonna need to get a drink real quick and sit down and told you everything.
00:23:13Yeah.
00:23:14Thank you, Jeff.
00:23:15All good.
00:23:16Appreciate that.
00:23:17No worries.
00:23:18Well, let's have a seat.
00:23:20Jackie, what the hell's going on?
00:23:21Yeah.
00:23:22Yeah.
00:23:23You're in the hot seat.
00:23:24Tell us.
00:23:25Tell us everything.
00:23:26Yeah.
00:23:27Okay, so it started off really well.
00:23:29Like, we went to Manly first, and we actually had a lovely time.
00:23:33We went on a date.
00:23:34Ryan bought me flowers.
00:23:38And then we drove to Campbelltown.
00:23:40So we sit down with our friends, and basically, we're just having a normal conversation.
00:23:45And then all of a sudden, his friend brings up the letter-writing task.
00:23:50And just starts digging into me.
00:23:52So Ryan had relayed stuff like, Jackie said I can't provide for a family, and stuff like this, which I didn't do.
00:24:01I'm concerned that you financially contribute less than I will.
00:24:05It's because I'm not convinced that you have enough financial skills.
00:24:09I didn't say that.
00:24:10And so...
00:24:11I heard it, but anyway.
00:24:13It just got more heated.
00:24:15They just started yelling.
00:24:16Like, I'm not even kidding when it was, like, nothing short of just verbal attacks.
00:24:23I got scolded as well.
00:24:26What sort of stuff were they saying?
00:24:28Things like, Ryan is stitched up being with you.
00:24:32You think you're better than him.
00:24:33They're yelling that.
00:24:34They're yelling that.
00:24:35Yelling it at me.
00:24:39What about the letter comic?
00:24:40I'll take it from a great asshole.
00:24:41Of course.
00:24:42Until he'd both talk to the story.
00:24:48What's remarkable here is traditionally, when someone walks into a cocktail party on their own, they have the support of the group.
00:24:55This time around, Jackie doesn't have that.
00:24:58Well, it seems to be quite clear that the group don't really trust Jackie.
00:25:02I'm not validating what Ryan or his friends did in any way, but that letter you wrote him.
00:25:10God, it was...
00:25:11It would have been hard to hear for anyone.
00:25:14Yeah, exactly.
00:25:17Also, I feel like we don't hear his side too much.
00:25:19Like, he doesn't really talk about his side too much.
00:25:24I think she's going to be playing the victim card very, very hard tonight.
00:25:28These things are going to get off my chest.
00:25:30Literally, homestays week was the tipping point.
00:25:34And it's fallen the wrong way.
00:25:36Jackie was disrespectful, rude and judgmental of all aspects of my life.
00:25:40Like, her conduct was disgraceful.
00:25:43Like, Ryan just sat there and didn't do anything.
00:25:46Like, a grown man was yelling at me.
00:25:47Your friends were speaking to me like I was a dog.
00:25:50And you just sat there and said nothing.
00:25:54This week could have been so much better if Jackie had a bit more self-awareness, a bit more consideration.
00:26:01And took some accountability for her behaviour.
00:26:05Where are you at now with Ryan?
00:26:07Well, I'm like, well, you not only owe me an apology, but like, you need to make it up to me.
00:26:12So you're saying you want an apology.
00:26:14So if he gives you an apology, you're like, oh, sweet, it's all good again?
00:26:16No, I said I want him to make it up to me.
00:26:21There's just bad behaviour happening.
00:26:23I'm not going to tolerate it anymore.
00:26:29It's made me angry.
00:26:30And at the end of the day, I'm not someone who's vindictive, but things need to come to light.
00:26:35And she needs to be able to demonstrate that her behaviour can be called out as well, even if she thinks she's above it.
00:26:42I'm just done with it.
00:26:43And there he is.
00:26:44Oh, he's Ryan.
00:26:45Hello.
00:26:46Hello.
00:26:47Hello.
00:26:48How are you?
00:26:49Hello.
00:26:50Hello.
00:26:51How are you?
00:26:52And there he is.
00:26:53Oh, here's Ryan.
00:26:54Hello.
00:26:55Hello.
00:26:56Hi, lovely to meet you.
00:26:58How are you?
00:26:59Hello.
00:27:00How are you?
00:27:01How are you?
00:27:02Yeah, really good.
00:27:15I'm just amazed that the most confident he's been walking in has been on his own alone
00:27:22I mean that's saying something
00:27:28Walking in alone. Oh, it's got a unique charm to it doesn't it
00:27:38Just gonna show up in one of your sharpest suits and just own the moment
00:27:45If you're gonna show up just show up as your best self. What? Like a gladiator
00:27:54Hi Jackie was standing there waiting for him to acknowledge her. That doesn't look that's not looking good. No looking good at all
00:28:09I'm doing good. How are you? Yeah feeling fresh looking fresher
00:28:15Yeah
00:28:17I was expecting Ryan to walk through the door with his tail between his legs and come over and apologize
00:28:24But instead Ryan is acting like he's a bachelor just arrived for a party. He's done nothing wrong
00:28:33And it's not okay. Do you have anything you want to say to me?
00:28:41Um
00:28:45Do you have anything you want to say to me?
00:28:49Have you got anything you want to say?
00:28:53That was a demand wasn't really a question
00:28:56I hadn't planned on it directly. You hadn't planned on anything
00:28:59Jackie wants me to apologize for being alive literally, but what have I got to be sorry for nothing?
00:29:06There's things I've got in my head that I want to express
00:29:11Yeah
00:29:14It was a real shame that things crashed and burned at the end there
00:29:18Yeah, it's uh, not ideal
00:29:20How about you? Do you have anything else to say?
00:29:27What do you mean like the reason why I left why we're not together tonight?
00:29:31Dinner is served
00:29:36Ryan was saved by the bell
00:29:38Ryan is not going to get away from me at the dinner party
00:29:41Isn't it fascinating? It's a storm outside and there's about to be a storm inside. It's very interesting timing
00:29:58Jackie's coming tonight looking for an apology and it's very clear Ryan's not going to give her one
00:30:02He's come in with a very different mindset hasn't he?
00:30:06I'm just ready to get this over and done with I'm ready to speak my truth
00:30:13So all this year it's on my chest he's gonna be vocalized
00:30:18I don't really care what Jackie's asking for me at this point because honestly, I'm checked out
00:30:30Cheers
00:30:36He doesn't even seem to realize he owes me an apology
00:30:55He is so delusional it blows my brains out
00:30:59Don't you think we should talk about
00:31:01Walk out
00:31:03Another way
00:31:08I'm going to be pulling that man aside and I'm going to teach him a lesson
00:31:17Well, uh, Jackie and Ryan, I'm pretty sure everyone's keen to hear what's actually going on. Yeah
00:31:24I think we should go to chat. What?
00:31:26Ah, no, everyone everyone
00:31:31Yeah, I've got some um things. I need to get off my chest
00:31:35Oh
00:31:37About the whole week like the full story and whatnot and yeah, I might as well start at the beginning
00:31:45So we turn up at her place within five minutes of going into her place
00:31:50Like we plopped on the bed. We're having a nice chat and then she brings up something again for the 50th time. She goes
00:31:55She goes
00:31:57Why won't you shave your beard?
00:31:58Oh wow
00:31:59Oh my god
00:32:00Are you serious?
00:32:01Why has your hand been an issue from day one?
00:32:04Oh, mate
00:32:05The whole clean-shaven blonde thing again like I don't know man like
00:32:08That's why I grew a beard
00:32:10It's like this is garbage like we've had this conversation a million times. What is the point of this?
00:32:17And she goes I'm gonna shave it off when you sleep
00:32:19But you know what? It's his body his choice
00:32:26Exactly. It's my body. This is what I want to do with my facial hair
00:32:30This actually sounds like a stupid discussion Jackie. Come on
00:32:33I know it's stupid. That's not what happened
00:32:35No, no, that's bullshit
00:32:37No, no, that's bullshit
00:32:39She goes oh, oh like you're refusing to have an intellectual discussion with me about it because of your small brain
00:32:52Wow
00:32:53Wow
00:32:58Jackie this that's not okay. You can't be saying that's right
00:33:01Exactly
00:33:02Best on what happened
00:33:04Can we say that to anyone not just Ryan?
00:33:06Exactly
00:33:07I didn't say that
00:33:08That's not even the best part
00:33:10What's the best part Ryan?
00:33:11What?
00:33:12Tell us the best part
00:33:16Showed up to my place and honestly like my mood just went up
00:33:21You know like it's my century. I love being around you. I worked my ass off for seven years
00:33:25Renting saving to be able to buy a house before I was 30
00:33:28Yeah, absolutely love it. It's like my pride and joy
00:33:31Can I ask you something guys did anyone else walk into anyone else's place
00:33:37And start telling them where to move things and saying I don't like this and you should do this
00:33:43Like rearranging stuff. Yeah, like take that poster down. I don't like it. What's that doing on the table?
00:33:48Take all these collectibles. It's not how I went
00:33:51Like I have a whiteboard at home and she's going around writing things on there what I should change
00:33:55She's even telling me how to raise Freya my dog
00:34:00This is my house
00:34:01That's not what happened. I got yelled at
00:34:03Exactly
00:34:04Because I wasn't walking the dog the way he wanted to walk it
00:34:06So are you saying he yelled at you for that?
00:34:07Yeah
00:34:08He actually yelled
00:34:09They're both telling two different stories here
00:34:12So it's really hard to know what actually happened
00:34:15Ryan did you yell?
00:34:16No I didn't
00:34:17That's her dramatizing shit mate, it's drama
00:34:35So are you saying he yelled at you for that?
00:34:37Yeah
00:34:38He actually yelled
00:34:40Ryan did you yell?
00:34:41No I didn't
00:34:42See that's her dramatizing shit mate, it's drama
00:34:46Well what I do know is that the way Ryan talks now
00:34:51There's a real bite in it
00:34:53Yeah
00:34:54That perhaps we haven't seen to that degree before
00:34:56Yes
00:34:58After the dog walk was the French lunch
00:35:00So Adam and Carla, two of my best mates
00:35:03They came in, they were asking about the relationship
00:35:06Do you appreciate what he's built for himself?
00:35:08Do you appreciate his lifestyle? That kind of stuff
00:35:10That's not what happened
00:35:11Oh yes it is, yes it is
00:35:12Yes it is
00:35:13They were asking you questions
00:35:14Yeah and then what happened?
00:35:15And then what happened was
00:35:18They asked her
00:35:19Why do you think you guys have disagreements?
00:35:22And then she goes
00:35:23Oh because Ryan always gets defensive
00:35:26And then she goes and doubles down on the first time
00:35:28And she goes Ryan actually is a liar
00:35:30Right to their face once again
00:35:33I didn't say that
00:35:34I didn't say that
00:35:35Yes she did
00:35:38Things got a little bit hidden and I do not condone like the raised voices particularly from my friend's side
00:35:44But because she wasn't answering any of their questions she was just piling more shit on me
00:35:49I was actually trying to engage with them I was trying to answer their questions and then they just weren't listening
00:35:53And then it just started with throwing insults at me
00:35:57Oh they did not throw insults at you
00:35:59Did I believe it was toxic behaviour?
00:36:01Was someone standing up and yelling over Jackie?
00:36:03No
00:36:04Yes
00:36:05No he did not stand up and yell over you
00:36:06He was like
00:36:07Oh
00:36:08And like animated I started flying and she was yelling at me too and you just said that
00:36:12No you know what?
00:36:13Because you kept blaming their best mate right?
00:36:16You've taken zero accountability
00:36:18Oh yeah
00:36:19You took zero accountability
00:36:20You were sitting there deflecting it all onto me once again
00:36:23Sure
00:36:24Whenever the heat is on you
00:36:25Whenever you have to demonstrate ownership
00:36:28You never do it
00:36:31I'm sick of it
00:36:32You can't say that
00:36:33No one deserves to be treated like that
00:36:36Ryan did they start yelling at her or did Jackie do something for them to get?
00:36:40Oh she doesn't
00:36:41I told them about what Jackie said about me in that letter
00:36:43She said I don't work as hard as her
00:36:45Oh
00:36:46And like I have serious concerns about your financial future
00:36:49What?
00:36:50So that's the island
00:36:52I'm concerned that you financially contribute less than I will
00:36:56And I will end up being the primary breadwinner
00:36:59I'm concerned you don't work as hard as me
00:37:03I know what was said in the letter because she read it to me
00:37:06I heard it with my own ears, I read it with my own eyes
00:37:09I know what was in the letter
00:37:10So I know Jackie's lying there
00:37:13If you're lying about that which I know is fact
00:37:15Then how can I believe anything else you say?
00:37:18Jackie in all seriousness
00:37:19In the cocktail party
00:37:20I called out one of your liars straight away
00:37:22I didn't address it then
00:37:23But you were talking about what Ryan earned and his job
00:37:25And it wasn't good enough
00:37:26And you said
00:37:27I didn't write that Jeff
00:37:29Oh my God
00:37:30See you read it to you
00:37:31And the career thing came up as well
00:37:32I heard it, you read it to me
00:37:33You said you were concerned with what his job is and how much he earned
00:37:37I didn't say that
00:37:38Jackie, Jackie's not a liar
00:37:42I'm not a liar
00:37:43The facts are
00:37:44I said I am concerned about the financial predictability and stability
00:37:50Jackie, essentially he doesn't earn enough money
00:37:53I didn't say that Jeff
00:37:55You pretty much said that in the letter
00:37:57That is not the issue
00:37:58Apparently it's not good enough for you
00:37:59I did not say he's not good enough for me
00:38:02I've never, ever, ever said this man is not good enough for me
00:38:06Jackie, you know honestly, if that letter got read to me, I wouldn't be here right now
00:38:20Yeah, I deserve to be yelled at
00:38:21Yeah
00:38:22That's what you're saying
00:38:26I feel like I'm disappointed in some of the group for trying to defend behaviour
00:38:32Which is absolutely unacceptable
00:38:34Ryan is a great storyteller
00:38:36He does misrepresent and misconstrue the facts
00:38:38But he is very convincing in the way he tells it
00:38:41He believes his own lies
00:38:43People believe his lies
00:38:44And that makes people turn on me
00:38:46Obviously Ryan's really upset
00:38:49And he distracts everyone from the big elephant in the room
00:38:53Which is I was yelled at
00:38:55I was scolded
00:38:57I was ganged up
00:38:58And I was verbally abused by his friends while he was sitting there
00:39:02And he did nothing
00:39:04Jackie
00:39:05You've been backed on the couch many times
00:39:07And Ryan's had to apologise
00:39:09I think sometimes you need to be able to own your part as well
00:39:12You're being scolded at
00:39:14Yeah, I'm sorry guys, I'm sorry I called someone to scold at me
00:39:21I'm sorry
00:39:22Honestly, I'm like, I'm like losing my brain right now
00:39:25Are you serious?
00:39:27It's clear that Ryan has been feeling this big
00:39:31And he's had enough
00:39:32Yeah, I mean what we're seeing tonight
00:39:34Is Ryan getting to that tipping point
00:39:37And I think, you know, really for Jackie to have any chance of turning this around
00:39:44She would have to understand how her words are landing
00:39:47And I don't think she's really got that
00:39:50No
00:39:51Ryan's owned up
00:39:52But I haven't heard you own up to one thing
00:39:54What would you like me to own up to?
00:39:56Or something that you've done
00:39:57What have I done?
00:40:04Jackie, Jackie
00:40:05I haven't heard where you've said you've gone wrong
00:40:08I think I'm too honest, yeah
00:40:14Too honest? That's a unique
00:40:17Jackie, but Jackie, that's not nice either
00:40:19Because you've said some mean comments
00:40:21That saying what you're saying is truthful
00:40:24What did I say that's mean?
00:40:28In this whole homestay, you don't think there's any part that made you went a bit too far
00:40:33Or you said the wrong thing
00:40:34Or like you could have handled yourself a little bit better
00:40:37A little bit better
00:40:43Okay, I can own up
00:40:47I'm sorry for not walking, Freya, the way you wanted me to walk
00:40:50Oh, there, yeah, just go for the petty one
00:40:52No, no, no, Jackie
00:40:53Jackie, you're a smart girl that you know that'll pass it to the grass
00:40:56What about me? It's not
00:40:57It's not
00:40:58Oh, my God
00:41:01Of course Jackie denied she said anything negative, you know
00:41:04Just absolute garbage
00:41:06Garbage
00:41:07Garbage
00:41:08You know, like when she has to take ownership
00:41:10She either refuses to or is incapable of it
00:41:13This is the difficulties I'm having of my relationship
00:41:16No one here is amused
00:41:20No one here is amused by that shit
00:41:23Come on, Jackie, don't
00:41:25And then the group's now seen that tonight
00:41:27I feel vindicated in the way of I was able to tell my story start to finish
00:41:32Vocalise that and get everyone in the awareness of what's going on in the relationship
00:41:37No one here is amused Jackie
00:41:38She laughs at them
00:41:39She laughs at them
00:41:40It's a weird time
00:41:41Yeah, when she's in a corner
00:41:43Laugh or cry
00:41:44I get it
00:41:46Jackie laughing and like trying to get a little bit of denial in there and just saying like oh that's not what happened
00:41:53It's really highlighted to me why we don't match
00:41:58I'm just sick of it, I've had a guffle mate
00:41:59I know
00:42:00You seem, yeah, you seem really hurt
00:42:03I feel like it's been a long time coming that you've kept your mouth closed
00:42:06I think honestly
00:42:07This is actually the first time in the whole experiment you've actually said what you wanted to say
00:42:12Because I'm quite like a positive person, not like diplomatic
00:42:16But I do like to look at the bigger picture and say like we've processed a lot
00:42:21We've had a lot of conflict but I just want to see something beyond it
00:42:24And this week it's just highlighted to me that maybe there just isn't
00:42:27Adrien and I had a really great homestay
00:42:36That's awesome
00:42:37Adrien said he really loved Perth
00:42:39Yeah, no it went good, we had a great time, I actually really liked Perth
00:42:43Afina and Adrien have done a good job sticking out this experiment with all it's up and downs
00:42:49It's nice to see that like it's paid off
00:42:52Bec, how was your homestay?
00:43:04Um, honestly, it didn't go the way that I thought it was going to go
00:43:10How come?
00:43:11Um, TJ came home to my house and spent time with my family
00:43:14And then we had a dinner that night with my family and my best friend came
00:43:17And they asked us a question and it was something along the lines of
00:43:21Do you see this progressing on the outside?
00:43:23And obviously I sat there and I said that I do
00:43:25And he kind of paused and then said that it's something that we're still trying to navigate
00:43:35And I'm gonna be honest that answer was like a little bit shit to hear
00:43:39Because obviously I was like it's something I want
00:43:41And for him to not really have like a solid answer I was a little bit like okay, kind of disappointing
00:43:46And then the day after we met his friends
00:43:50And they asked a similar question
00:43:52And again, I sat there and said that I do
00:43:54Um, and he sat there and said that he doesn't see this progressing into a relationship
00:44:00At all
00:44:01I said
00:44:03You did say you don't see progressing into a relationship
00:44:04I said there needs to be factors that improve for it to be in a relationship
00:44:06And
00:44:07It was a yes or a no answer and I, yeah
00:44:08Again, it just seemed like he couldn't really answer it
00:44:10And to me, to not be able to answer that
00:44:12When we've been here this long
00:44:14It really disappointed me and hurt me
00:44:16And to be quite honest with you, sat there
00:44:20I felt really embarrassed that I was like
00:44:22Yeah, I see this working and he just couldn't answer it
00:44:26Oh Beth, the most confident person on the planet would feel dejected in that situation
00:44:33Of course
00:44:34Have you guys slept together since the first time again?
00:44:38Yes
00:44:42And that's why I'm just so confused and lost
00:44:44We both wrote stay at the commitment ceremony
00:44:46And then TJ initiated sex with me again
00:44:49And as we all know
00:44:50He can't be intimate with me unless there's a deeper connection
00:44:53So then that makes me think
00:44:55The deeper things is there
00:44:56Of course I'm gonna think TJ's connecting with me more
00:44:59It made me feel good
00:45:00Yeah
00:45:01Cause that's what he said he needed the whole time
00:45:03And then days later you're telling me that you can't
00:45:06See a future with me and seeing progressing
00:45:08So I'm just so blindsided by it
00:45:10And I wish you had enough respect and care for me
00:45:13To tell me beforehand says
00:45:15Cause that was
00:45:16No TJ that was really big for me to see you with my family
00:45:18And do you know what?
00:45:19It hurts that now you're like
00:45:21Nah, I don't see it
00:45:25Well there's a lot of mixed messages
00:45:27That TJ's sending to Beth basically
00:45:32And the issue here is that you can see it
00:45:34It plays with Beth's head
00:45:35Yes
00:45:36She gets inside there
00:45:37Overanalyzes it
00:45:38Thinks maybe I've got to do more
00:45:39And it's very hard for Beth
00:45:42Not to feel like she's to blame
00:45:46TJ what on earth do you have to say to that then?
00:45:51Obviously everyone wants to hear why
00:45:53Why did that happen then T?
00:45:54I'm so confused
00:45:55Absolutely
00:45:56Because you talked about that emotional connection
00:45:57For a long time and then it's happened
00:45:58Absolutely
00:45:59Yeah
00:46:00After you said at the dinner party that you didn't think
00:46:02I was physically attracted to you because I hadn't been sleeping with you
00:46:05Made me think maybe I am in my own head about it
00:46:08And I self reflected
00:46:10Maybe I was in my own head about it
00:46:11And I thought I would initiate intimacy
00:46:13Because that's what you wanted
00:46:15The invitation to include sexuality is not about simply you know her needs meeting her needs
00:46:24It's about him saying that he wanted to connect and that is a way to connect
00:46:29From a homestays I was met with a lot of yes or no questions
00:46:32You know are you going to break my daughter's heart
00:46:35My friends even questioning I guess where we're at too
00:46:38It kind of made me think
00:46:40Is Beth the right one for me? Am I the right one for Beth?
00:46:43I had to say how I was feeling in the moment
00:46:46So you're saying that homestays has changed your opinion of me
00:46:49After getting pushed into a corner asking yes or no
00:46:52Pushed into a corner are you joking?
00:46:53It felt like that darling
00:46:59I can understand where Beth is seeing some serious confusion
00:47:03Last week with the experts TJ was talking a lot about souls intertwining
00:47:08For intimacy to happen
00:47:10But then intimacy happened
00:47:12But now when you get asked do you want there to be a future outside of the experiment
00:47:17And you can't answer that question straight away
00:47:19Like it just doesn't make sense
00:47:23I don't think he's into Beth like Beth's into him
00:47:26Your dad said to me if the experiment ends tomorrow yes or no
00:47:29Is my daughter going to get her heart broken?
00:47:30I know and he used the wrong word
00:47:31He probably should have said she's going to be hurt
00:47:33I understand that darling
00:47:34But I was diplomatic in the way the answer
00:47:37Because I don't want to give a yes or a no
00:47:38Why are you sniggering?
00:47:40Because I feel like you're
00:47:41I feel like you're blaming my family's questions
00:47:44Thank you
00:47:46If you liked me enough
00:47:48Or saw a future with me
00:47:49Questions wouldn't throw you off
00:47:51It just wouldn't
00:47:52They didn't throw me off if I answered them
00:47:53I didn't want to say yes or no
00:47:54I'm a bit of a seesaw at the moment
00:47:56There's parts of me that wants to try and there's parts of me that says I haven't felt my emotions grow in the past fortnight
00:48:04So I don't want to give a yes or a no because that ends or closes the conversation
00:48:09We're still trying to work out whether this is a really good friendship or relationship and I just don't think that it's
00:48:16Well friends that have sex
00:48:18Totally and I feel like you've really switched
00:48:21I'm still here because I like you
00:48:24I'm here for the same reason
00:48:26We get along so well
00:48:28Our banter's amazing
00:48:29We've proved that we're honest
00:48:30We're loyal
00:48:31To me to throw that away is stupid
00:48:34But babe you asked me for a yes or a no
00:48:36You said so it's a no then
00:48:37That's what your answer was to me
00:48:38All I wanted to know
00:48:39Was if you wanted to continue on the outside
00:48:41That's it
00:48:42Babe
00:48:43I said I can't give you that answer right now
00:48:44You said so
00:48:45See and that's what hurt
00:48:46You can't give an answer
00:48:47You should be able to say
00:48:48You should be able to say
00:48:49Yes I want to continue on the outside and get to know you
00:48:52And you couldn't answer it
00:48:54You couldn't answer it
00:48:57He's able to be asked a yes or no question
00:49:00Do you see a future in this?
00:49:02And he can't answer it
00:49:03And then he's able to blame that on the person that's asked the question
00:49:07It is very frustrating if you're trying to communicate and you're not getting clear answers to a very direct question
00:49:12It makes her doubt her position
00:49:14Yeah
00:49:15So once again her insecurities are playing in
00:49:17And you see that hint of desperation because she does like him
00:49:21Yeah
00:49:26Still to come
00:49:28Can TJ give a straight answer?
00:49:30Why are you still here?
00:49:32Well it's a dinner party but like
00:49:34Oh
00:49:35And later
00:49:36Brian I'm not going to sit there and listen to you do things that I see as like below the standards
00:49:41Oh I've heard enough about your standards
00:49:44Is this the end of the road for Jackie and Ryan?
00:49:49Why don't you want to be someone great?
00:49:51You should be able to say yes I want to continue on the outside and get to know you and you couldn't answer it
00:50:06You couldn't answer it
00:50:08Are you willing to keep trying within this experiment?
00:50:13She needs to know how you feel bro about her
00:50:16I can't answer that right now I really can't
00:50:19See? This is why he can't give an answer
00:50:22Ever
00:50:23Look at how you're like addressing me
00:50:26You didn't twice today you didn't have your wedding ring on
00:50:28But you didn't say it
00:50:29Because I was emotional to you because I like you that's why
00:50:32I like you too darling
00:50:37Darling just don't touch my ears
00:50:38I've heard that before and out of his mouth
00:50:41Darling
00:50:42All I wanted from you was to know that you liked me just a little bit enough to actually want to progress this on the outside
00:50:50That is not what you said darling
00:50:53Take a shop every time tea dresses darling
00:50:58You never asked me if I wanted to keep trying in this experiment darling
00:51:01I don't know I just I want to know why are you still here and why did you come to homestays if you don't see a future with me
00:51:12I want a perspective on our relationship darling
00:51:19Darling
00:51:20You're blaming questions I feel like you're just using
00:51:22Because it's a yes or a no like darling it's not an excuse
00:51:25Excuse
00:51:29If I don't know what to do then I don't know what to do with the aunt
00:51:32Woo
00:51:34Right now do you want to work on it?
00:51:38And it doesn't matter what the answer is because I just need to hear it
00:51:40I need to know like why are you still here?
00:51:44Well it's a dinner party but like
00:51:45Oh
00:51:49I can't be honest
00:51:50Well being so petty right now seriously
00:51:52Are you kidding me?
00:51:53Are you asking yes or no questions?
00:51:54See this is a petty point
00:51:55If you don't understand what I'm saying
00:51:57You really don't
00:51:59But darling darling what I'm saying
00:52:00I'm not blaming the questions darling
00:52:02Darling
00:52:06That's like 133 darlings too many
00:52:10I'm just in the head right now
00:52:12I'm a bit mindful to be honest
00:52:14I just need him to like just be straight up
00:52:16Be blunt tell me how you feel
00:52:20Hell
00:52:23What a shit show
00:52:26Sorry boys
00:52:30Hello
00:52:31Hello
00:52:32Is anyone sitting here?
00:52:33No you
00:52:38Like one
00:52:39I mean I guess that was a lot wasn't it?
00:52:41A little bit
00:52:42Yeah
00:52:43I guess I just want to know like obviously we are nearing the end
00:52:47Are you wanting to work on this on the outside and you didn't say yes to me
00:52:51That means you're not very sure
00:52:53But why do I need to give a yes or a no right now?
00:52:57Like I feel claustrophobic with that
00:52:58Well they are at a crossroads aren't they?
00:53:01Yeah
00:53:02Tonight's been really difficult for TJ and Beth
00:53:05Yeah
00:53:06She's saying quite clearly that there is something still there for her
00:53:10Yeah
00:53:11And I think the problem here is is not saying yes I'm into you exactly or no I'm not
00:53:17So she still has that little warsel of hope that it could work out
00:53:22It's okay if you are but I do feel like you're very checked out
00:53:28And I get that you don't know where your head's at and that's so fine
00:53:33But like I'll be honest I don't want to leave I really don't
00:53:38Then write stay
00:53:40But I don't want to keep you here if you don't want to be here
00:53:42You're not going to keep me here but beyond my like you're not kidnapping me
00:53:46I know but what I'm saying is I don't want to write stay if you want to write leave if you want to go
00:53:50I won't be upset if you write stay
00:53:54But I can't write stay if you want to leave
00:53:58If you don't want to be here that's so fine I just need to I just need to hear it
00:54:03I just don't want to rush something right now
00:54:05Like I just need to process for a bit
00:54:08That's not me saying no
00:54:11It was good to talk to TJ away from the table
00:54:16I mean it helped me
00:54:18Obviously I told TJ I want to stay in this experiment
00:54:21It felt good to get it off my chest
00:54:24Alright
00:54:35I mean it would have been nice to hear that TJ still wanted to stay but he said his head's all over the place he's unsure how he feels
00:54:48I'm glad we had that chat
00:54:51Me too
00:54:54And that's so fine that's where he's at that's where he's at
00:54:57But and he didn't sit there and say nah we're writing leave I'm going so that's a positive sign
00:55:03It's up to him you know
00:55:04We will see
00:55:06We will see
00:55:07So your home stay you two went well then?
00:55:08Yeah it was so good
00:55:09He gave me a house key which is a bit cute
00:55:10No way
00:55:11Oh that's actually that means a lot
00:55:12I know
00:55:13That's
00:55:14That's
00:55:15That's
00:55:16That's
00:55:17That's
00:55:18That's
00:55:19That's
00:55:20That's
00:55:21That's
00:55:22That's
00:55:23That's
00:55:24That's
00:55:28So your home stay you two went well then
00:55:29Yeah it was so good
00:55:30He gave me a house key which is a bit cute
00:55:32No way
00:55:34Oh that's actually that means a lot
00:55:37I know
00:55:38That's
00:55:40That's
00:55:41possible i'm like thank you that's awesome yeah i don't think we've ever seen a homestay result
00:55:48in the handing over of the key that's a big deal can you hear that by the way she got her key from
00:55:55jim what the hell oh my god that's super special yeah yeah i feel like you know
00:56:05it made me really excited for after the experiment yeah yeah it was really nice and it just yeah it
00:56:11just confirmed that like our relationship will work outside of the experiment of course yeah
00:56:18same for us like the homestay just made me feel so secure
00:56:21so reassured for like continuing this on the outside yeah incredible
00:56:27it's actually quite lovely to watch isn't it at this end of the table we've got re and jeff
00:56:36we've got karina and paul all reflecting on how well things are going yeah beautiful it is
00:56:51oh my god yeah particularly that was just that was just the last week as well
00:57:10i can see that ryan's hurting whatever it was that i did hurt him don't you think we should
00:57:15talk about what happened i think like i know that the letter i wrote was quite mean and not mean but
00:57:28it was like a hard truth to hear probably and i feel pretty sad that i've hurt ryan um i didn't
00:57:34realize he was hurting so much i just wish he could talk to me and communicate normally and currently it
00:57:42sucks because i'm getting a stone wall like i'm i'm trying to get through to him but he's really
00:57:47just checked out i'm almost gone i don't want to lose ryan i don't want to lose ryan as a friend
00:57:53i can't like you know i'm genuinely trying to build the best relationship i can with this man
00:57:58otherwise we've just been here for like 10 weeks and basically just throwing it away
00:58:02i've got that to lean on is because where has it in her to completely put playing on her stuff
00:58:06tj you really want to have a chat you want so what would she give you for you to feel like she has
00:58:16please let's go and have a chat
00:58:24i feel like i'm losing ryan i feel like he's really thrown in the towel so it makes me sad that
00:58:39like this has potentially caused the end of our relationship is a silly fight with his friends
00:58:47you mentioned the tipping point earlier and i think you're right
00:58:51he's flipped over the hill and he's now very detached and i think she's just cottoned on to it
00:58:57yeah and interestingly now jackie starts to soften well she realizes he's serious she's desperately
00:59:06trying to hang on to the relationship she realized it's slipping through her fingers
00:59:09okay can i ask three questions are you you're sorry for what adam and carla did are you sorry for
00:59:22not standing up for me in the moment
00:59:27do you understand why their behavior was wrong like these are my best mates and they mean more to me
00:59:33than you
00:59:37ryan i found that really traumatic
00:59:41that it was a really bad experience for me and i'm still not over it
00:59:45i came to tonight just wanting to like ask for an apology from you and to get you to say that you'll
00:59:51make it up to me for not standing up for me because that really cut me deep that experience
00:59:57jackie you said horrible things about me it doesn't regardless of what i said you don't do that
01:00:03ryan i'm doing this for the better of both of us
01:00:08no no woman deserves to be yelled at ryan i'm doing you a favor i'm doing you're doing me a favor
01:00:15because it's it's like giving you the opportunity to work on it that's it i don't i don't like the way
01:00:19you speak to me when you say that kind of stuff as well this is a coachable moment this is an
01:00:23opportunity to work on it right i'm not going to sit there and listen to you do things
01:00:27that i see as like just below the standard oh i've heard enough about your standards i'm allowed
01:00:33high standards i've heard enough why don't you want to be someone great
01:00:38great wow
01:00:53why don't you want to be someone great
01:01:01wow
01:01:03oh

01:01:17why do you want why don't you want to be someone who's on a level where they're approachable and
01:01:24one i don't want to be on a level i really do not
01:01:27you are judgmental or you're hypercritical or you're hypersensitive i'm not happy being here with you
01:01:44i'm telling you what i needed from you tonight i need to know what you want from me i want something
01:01:49you can't give me which is acceptance i do accept you no you don't i think you're confused you do not
01:01:56accept me because you're always making lists okay yeah maybe i'll change your dress a little bit but
01:02:02like you look good
01:02:08jackie i need to say something to you right yeah and it's okay and it's okay you don't like me
01:02:17for who i am and that is fine i love myself i'm confident in myself i have an amazing life
01:02:26right and your influence on it at the moment is destructive because you're trying to change it
01:02:33that's not what a relationship is but you came here to learn
01:02:39i'm exhausted i'm exhausted trying to get through to her trying to get through to her
01:02:43i'm exactly what you asked for someone independent ambitious goal oriented and she's not hearing it i am
01:02:48like basically your eve you're the adam i'm the eve i was brought here to you
01:03:04jackie's really trying her best to like rebuild us
01:03:08is there anything worth salvaging here
01:03:17is there anything here that you want to spend more time with
01:03:21jesus wept jackie i'm like are you serious is this what you really want
01:03:30do you really want to go through more of this because i don't i really don't
01:03:34know you don't want to spend any more time on us
01:03:39i can't salvage it
01:03:53wow i think she's starting to have this realization that i've pushed him too far
01:03:58it's a little panic yeah from her jackie can i ask you this is something i need to know about you
01:04:04as a person yeah when you're looking at your potential partner when you're looking at your
01:04:09boyfriend looking at your husband do you always have to make a list
01:04:12wouldn't you rather find someone that meets your high standards there's no one out there that meets my standards
01:04:25well they need to ease the up because us criticizing each other and feeling like we need to have
01:04:33things in our head to say to each other when we next see each other just to prove a point
01:04:38it's such a hostile environment
01:04:41i'm not doing that it's just you
01:04:48and that's what upsets me is like you say these things and it's just not true
01:04:52i do validate your feelings i am accepting you i don't think i'm better than you
01:04:56and like i'm trying so hard
01:05:00i can't i can't do this jackie
01:05:02i'm exhausted mentally i'm sorry you're exhausted i like honestly i thought i was done coming into
01:05:13tonight but like it was because i just thought ryan was completely in the wrong and now after spending
01:05:20time with him and hearing that actually he's hurting because of me it made me want to like keep working
01:05:25on the relationship i'm sorry that the letter is still hurting you i didn't mean to hurt you
01:05:36i think it just hurts because like i feel like i drove him away from trying so hard
01:05:42and i feel like the effort i put into the relationship and me being honest is what drove him away
01:05:47i'm sorry and i'm sorry for telling you your house should be run i am i'm sorry i could hurt you
01:05:56i can't believe i'm losing ryan
01:06:14i don't lose people people lose me
01:06:17sunday night it's the final commitment ceremony of the experiment the very last opportunity to get
01:06:31feedback from the experts to make an accurate decision going into final bowels no more beating
01:06:37around the bush the experts apply the pressure is it just really as simple as you're just not that into
01:06:45a tough questions do you think afina could be that right person for you um leads to unexpected
01:06:55bombshells at the moment i don't think i'm in love with dave and then we're having a conversation
01:07:02about how you have made ryan feel the experts hold jackie to account
01:07:07and they are not in a laughing mood why are you laughing about something that is so important to
01:07:18him just sit with that now back to you ryan will jackie and ryan quit the experiment just days before
